PLEASE CLICK "UPLOADS" FOR MY VERY LATEST VIDEOS. THEY ARE ORDERED BY NEWEST ON TOP. YOU CAN SEE THE "UPLOAD" BUTTON AT THE VERY TOP OF MY YOUTUBE PAGE.

Please lang, huwag n'yo akong tawaging "MA'AM". Nakakasakit kasi ng tuhod, pati likod ko sumasakit din. Hindi puwede ang "ma'am" sa akin. :) Tawagin n'yo nalang ako sa pangalan ko: Nhejzheen.

=======================================
FYI: I'm posting the following to answer some of your comments or questions. YouTube is my favorite venue to enhance my life by sharing my music, my photos/lomos and my love for my countries (US and Philippines). I usually write my music in my native language, Visayan/Cebuano, the main language of the Visayas, the central part of the Philippines. I love Visayan. I love to listen to YouTubers singing their own original music. With regards to Facebook, it's not really a thing for me. I don't really care for it. It's like eating cotton candy. I don't like chatting online either. I prefer telephoning. But 5 minutes is my limit. Haha! Tweeter? I'm a busy Homo sapiens mama, not a birdy -- no tweets for me! I know it's Twitter. Tweeter sounds more appropriate, though.

By the way, I'm only 5'3". I wish I were a bit taller. I've been in the US for over 12 years now. I used to live in Mindanao, Philippines, between Iligan and CDO on the northwest coastline. I learned to play guitar from friends as I grew up. As to singing, I just sing whether you like it or not. I have no desire to perform professionally. I'm doing this for my own enjoyment. I'm my biggest fan. Haha! I listen to my music all the time. I look at my photos all the time. I do good.

I'm performing for my fellow YouTubers/subscribers, my kababayans, friends, relatives and family. It's my great passion to sing, play my guitar, take pictures, loving the Philippines and the USA -- loving life! Finally a word about requests: I would love to sing the song you would like me to sing, but I would truly rather sing the song I'd like to sing.

You will find here my original compositions and also renditions of some of my favorite songs from many sources.

You may be wondering why in my earlier videos I am playing my guitar from the left while in later videos I am playing from the right. The reason is that my web camera was set as "mirrored" on the earlier takes. I'm a right-handed guitar player.

To all my subscribers, friends and fellow YouTubers, thank you! Also, thanks to my dear husband who is my videographer.

Just to let you know: I am a self-taught amateur photographer. But, I try hard. If you want to see my recent photos/lomos, here's the link: http://nhejzheen.multiply.com/

Thanks for your visit. Have a great day!

Re: Mr. Freddie Aguilar's Opinion

Hello folks!

Ang sakit namang magsalita ng ibang kababayan natin. Nakalimutan siguro nila kung gaano kahalaga si Mr. Freddie Aguilar sa bayan natin, not to mention his great music. He is a national treasure. Ang musika na ginagawa niya ay lahat magaganda, makahulugan, makabuluhan at higit sa lahat, makabayan. Iilan lang sa mga musikero natin ngayon na umaawit na may magagandang kahulugan -bilang isang Pilipino.

Dahil nagsasabi ang isang tao ng katotohanan, anong ginagawa ng ibang kababayan natin laban nito? Minumura! Sino ang minumura nila? Kon 'di isang taong makabayan at tunay na Pilipino na nagmamalasakit para sa kanyang Inang Bayan. Tama ba na sabihin natin sa isang Pilipino legendary musician (our own kind) na isa siyang this and that? Walang masasabi ang ibang kababayan natin laban kay Mr. Aguilar kung hindi lahat ay paglalait, pagmamaliit - halos lahat masama. Tama ba 'yan? Huwag naman ninyong intindihin ang "unggoy" sa literal na pag-unawa. 'Yan lang! Pasalamat nga tayo, mayroon pa tayong isang tao na kagaya ni Mr. Freddie Aguilar - nagsasalita sa katotohanan.

Dito sa amin, kung nagsasabi ka ng katotohanan o kung nagbigay ka ng isang criticism sa iyong kapwa tao o kung sino, pinasasalamatan ka at pinupuri. Bakit sa atin minamasama ka? Sa katotohanan, ang distinctive style ng Pililipinong musika ay unti-unting nawawala. Kawawa naman ang ating Inang Bayan. Ang musika nito ay pinapalitan na ng foreign style music: hiphop, reggae, soul, at iba pa. Paano mag-evolve ang musika natin kung halos lahat ng professional Filipino music artists ay kumakanta na ng English? Yup! Sa totoo lang sa ngayon hindi ko na ma-distinguish kung Pilipino musika ba ang pinapakinggan ko o hindi, iba na kasi ang style. At nasaan na ang tinatawag na originality? Paano nalang ang mga kabataan? Ano kayang mangyayari sa kinabukasan nila? Magiging copycat din sila, I bet. Gusto ba nating maging "unggoy" nalang palagi? I admit I tend to be a "monkey" but I'm trying my best not to. Halos naman tayo ay manggagaya. Pero sana naman mag-iba na ang daloy ng hangin sa himpapawid.

We should be able to take strong criticism from people (especially, Mr. Freddie Aguilar's) and react in a constructive way. Egotistical kasi eh kaya ganun. Another point: people deep inside feel inferior, so nasasaktan sila at nag-overreact at nagsasalita ng mga masasama sa kanilang kapwa. That's just too bad.

At sana naman, 'pag may galit tayo sa isang tao, musician ba ito o artist o kung sino kaya, focus on the issue at hindi sa kanilang pagkatao. Ipakita ang isang tunay na pagka-Pilipino. Gawin nating halimbawa ang sarili natin para sa mga kabataan at para sa ikauunlad ng bayan. May the Almighty Power bless you!

Peace and love, Nhejzheen

Ang totoong makabayan ay nagtutuwid sa mga baluktot at nagsasabi ng katotohanan kahit na ang kapahamakan nito ay great pain at kawalan ng suporta sa karamihan. Ako ang may sabi.

Ang ginawa ni Mr. Freddie Aguilar ay hindi paninira, kung hindi ay nakikialam lang siya sa nangyayari ngayon sa Pilipinong musika at sa mga Pilipinong music artists.

Sumisira? Maraming sumisira na mga tao against Filipinos. Who are these people? These people are Filipinos din. And some of them are here on YouTube commenting on Freddie Aguilar's videos. That's sad.

Mas mabuti nalang na ako ay namumulot ng basura para sa ikabubuhay ng aking pamilya kay sa naging isang mayaman na naging basura para sa bansa at ng mamamayan. ~ Nhejzheen

Ang musika nina Joey Ayala, Freddie Aguilar, at ASIN ay binubuo ng laman kung ano talaga ang nasa aking damdamin at paniniwala - mula pa ng aking pagkabata. Salamat sa kanilang napakagandang musika.
